RESUMO

PURPOSE: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CART-BCMA) are a promising treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (r/rMM). We evaluated the safety and feasibility of bridging radiation (RT) in subjects treated on a phase I trial of CART-BCMA. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Twenty-five r/rMM subjects were treated in three cohorts with two doses of CART-BCMA cells ± cyclophosphamide. We retrospectively analyzed toxicity, response, and CART manufacturing data based on RT receipt. RESULTS: Thirteen subjects received no RT <1 year before CART infusion (Group A). Eight subjects received RT <1 year before CART infusion (Group B) with median time from RT to apheresis of 114 days (range 40-301). Four subjects received bridging-RT (Group C) with a median dose of 22 Gy and time from RT to infusion of 25 days (range 18-35). Group C had qualitatively lower rates of grade 4 (G4) hematologic toxicities (25%) versus A (61.5%) and B (62.5%). G3-4 neurotoxicity occurred in 7.7%, 25%, and 25% in Group A, B, and C, respectively. G3-4 cytokine release syndrome was observed in 38.5%, 25%, and 25% in Group A, B, and C, respectively. Partial response or better was observed in 54%, 38%, and 50% of Group A, B, and C, respectively. RT administered <1 year (P = 0.002) and <100 days (P = 0.069) before apheresis was associated with lower in vitro proliferation during manufacturing; however, in vivo CART-BCMA expansion appeared similar across groups. CONCLUSIONS: Bridging-RT appeared safe and feasible with CART-BCMA therapy in our r/rMM patients, though larger future studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Myeloma lesions of the head can present with central nervous system (CNS) involvement (leptomeningeal disease or brain metastasis), cranial neuropathy (CN), or impending neurologic involvement (INI). We analyzed response and survival after palliative radiation therapy (RT) to the brain and/or skull for myeloma lesions to determine whether CNS involvement fared worse than other RT indications. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We retrospectively analyzed 54 palliative RT courses administered at our institution from 2008 to 2019. Eleven courses were administered for CNS disease, 28 for CN, and 15 for INI. Demographic, disease, and RT variables were recorded as well as clinical response, radiographic response, and survival. Univariate analyses were performed for differences between groups, effects of clinical and RT treatment factors on response, as well as dose response. Survival was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. RESULTS: This heavily pretreated cohort received a median of 20 to 24 Gy, most often to the base of skull, orbit(s), calvarium, or whole brain. Any clinical response (partial or complete vs no response or progressive disease) was significantly more likely for patients with CN and INI when collectively compared with patients with CNS disease (P < .001). Dose response was significant for doses ≥15 and 20 Gy for the whole cohort (P = .026 and .005, respectively) and patients with CN/INI (P = .023 and .002, respectively). Additionally, patients with high-risk cytogenetics were less likely to clinically respond (P = .009). Patients with CNS disease had worse survival (P = .005). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with leptomeningeal disease/brain metastasis have poor clinical response and survival after RT and their responses do not demonstrate a dose response. Given these poor outcomes, the potential benefit of RT may be limited for some patients who may be alternatively managed by supportive care or short RT courses. Patients with CN/INI have longer survival and better response rates and may benefit from RT courses ≥15 to 20 Gy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Radiation therapy (RT) with doses ranging from 24 Gray (Gy) to 40 Gy is a proven treatment modality for indolent orbital adnexal lymphoma (IOAL), but recently the use of low dose RT (LDRT, defined as 2 Gy x 2 fractions) has become a notable alternative. However, limited data exists comparing outcomes following LDRT to moderate-dose RT (MDRT, RT dose 4 - 36 Gy). We present a single institution retrospective analysis comparing outcomes of patients with IOALs following LDRT or MDRT. METHODS: A total of 36 patients treated with 38 consecutive courses of RT were identified; LDRT was delivered for 14 courses and MDRT for 24 courses. Overall response rates (ORR) were recorded according to Deauville or RECIST criteria with a response characterized as a complete response (CR) or partial response. Local control (LC), orbital control (OC), and overall survival (OS) rates were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. RT toxicity was graded per CTCAEv5 and compared with the Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Median follow-up time was 29 months (m) (range, 4-129m), and median MDRT dose used was 24 Gy (range 21-36 Gy). Overall response rates (ORR) were 100% (CR 50%) and 87.5% (CR 58.3%) following LDRT and MDRT, respectively. OS at 2 years was 100% and 95% for the LDRT and MDRT groups, respectively (p=0.36). LC rates at 2 years was 100% for both LDRT and MDRT groups and at 4 years was 100% and 89% for the LDRT and MDRT groups, respectively (p=0.56). The 4-year OC rate (including both ipsilateral and contralateral relapses) was 80% and 85% for the LDRT and MDRT groups, respectively (p=0.79). No patient required treatment with RT to a previously irradiated orbit. Acute toxicities were reported following 6 LDRT courses compared to 20 MDRT courses (p=.014). No Grade 3 or higher acute toxicities occurred in either group. Late toxicities were reported following 2 LDRT courses compared to 10 MDRT courses (p=0.147). CONCLUSIONS: LDRT produced similar ORR, LC, OC, and OS rates compared to MDRT with fewer acute and minimal late toxicities reported. Future multi-center studies with larger patient numbers are warranted to show significant associations.

RESUMO

Palliative radiotherapy (PRT) is well-tolerated, effective treatment for pain, bleeding, obstruction, and other symptoms/complications of advanced cancer. It is an important component of multidisciplinary management. It should be considered even for patients with poor prognosis, because it can offer rapid symptomatic relief. Furthermore, expanding indications for treatment of noncurable disease have shown that PRT can extend survival for select patients. For those with good prognosis, advanced PRT techniques may improve the therapeutic ratio, maximizing tumor control while limiting toxicity. PRT referral should be considered for any patient with symptomatic or asymptomatic sites of disease where local control is desired.

RESUMO

Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital disorder with erythroid (Ery) hypoplasia and tissue morphogenic abnormalities. Most DBA cases are caused by heterozygous null mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins. Understanding how haploinsufficiency of these ubiquitous proteins causes DBA is hampered by limited availability of tissues from affected patients. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from fibroblasts of DBA patients carrying mutations in RPS19 and RPL5. Compared with controls, DBA fibroblasts formed iPSCs inefficiently, although we obtained 1 stable clone from each fibroblast line. RPS19-mutated iPSCs exhibited defects in 40S (small) ribosomal subunit assembly and production of 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Upon induced differentiation, the mutant clone exhibited globally impaired hematopoiesis, with the Ery lineage affected most profoundly. RPL5-mutated iPSCs exhibited defective 60S (large) ribosomal subunit assembly, accumulation of 12S pre-rRNA, and impaired erythropoiesis. In both mutant iPSC lines, genetic correction of ribosomal protein deficiency via complementary DNA transfer into the "safe harbor" AAVS1 locus alleviated abnormalities in ribosome biogenesis and hematopoiesis. Our studies show that pathological features of DBA are recapitulated by iPSCs, provide a renewable source of cells to model various tissue defects, and demonstrate proof of principle for genetic correction strategies in patient stem cells.
